St. Louis in Pictures ~ Forest Park

Stop in each Friday to see some of the pictures I’ve taken in my explorations around town.

Forest Park:

Forest Park is a park that stands out among city parks. Not only does it have 3 golf courses, paved paths, sports fields and miles of open ground, but it also is home to many of St. Louis’ most popular attractions.

At 1,293 acres, it is approximately 500 acres larger than Central Park in New York.

I have spent many afternoons and evenings at Forest Park, and usually snap a few pictures when I am there.

Here are some of my favorites.

Jewel Box

History Museum

Fishing spot

There’s a quiet section of the park at the northeast corner near Lindell and Kingshighway that very few people ever discover. I love the solitude and serenity that you find here…the fishing shot above and next two pictures come from this little piece of heaven.

Forest Park is just a short walk from many homes and condos that surround the park. From the 1904 World’s Fair mansions on Lindell to the condos by the DeBaliviere Metro station, there are homes in every budget.
